The following video is a reminder that the butter shortage in Norway is no laughing matter.

During this festive Christmas season, when butter is an all-important ingredient in various traditional Norwegian delicacies, the lack of the crucial dairy product is felt most acutely.

In the video below a Norwegian… umm… person chides Americans for making fun of the Norwegian butter crisis. And if you Danes think your churlish mockery will go unchastised, think again! Watch this video all the way to the end — Denmark is not spared.

WARNING: Some salty language is used in this clip. Sensitive readers should cover their ears:

My sympathies go to the Norwegians, who are short of butter due to the corporate socialism (fascism) they have used as their state-approved butter production model.

The good part is, you can deliciously emulate butter by using olive oil or other liquid fats. Any oil-based pastries or cakes have to be served cold. It's far healthier, also. I understand the death rates in Denmark and Norway went down during World War II, in spite of severe shortages, because the shortages included butter.

Oh b****r Dymphna. So the half price in America even extends to butter?We in the Uk are used to paying £ per $ for electronic goods and even more for what you call "gas" but even butter? Beggars belief. As it happens I have less than a pound of butter in my fridge and that was intended for cooking (I've been partially following your excellent advice) I may be able to offload that to Norway at a profit on Ebay!!!

If I woke up in the middle of the night to find this scary looking woman, like her, stealing my butter I will probably faint. Her English is terrible and I wondered why she is embarrassing herself so much in front of the world.

There is no GLOBAL butter shortage in the world, just a local shortage of butter in a country with less than five million inhabitants. If they need more butter than they are able to produce, they just have to import it from Germany, USA, France, New Zealand, what they like best according to their taste, and any country will be more than happy to supply them. Norway is one of the richest country in the worls and they can afford to import enough butter and cream to drown in it. The circumstance that that really stupid blogger ignores such a simple fact make me LOL.Max

The real sad thing for the Danish people, scorned by Tommy for "zs..ausages", is that their wise overlords swallowed the US (USDA/CSPI/NIH) bred propaganda campaign against fat (and concomitant promotion of fattening carbohydrates).

The use of state power to "do good" should be a lesson for all CJ's who still maintain, in a Boromir-like fashion, that we (they) can and indeed should use the power of an allegedly benign welfare state apparatus to combat Islam.
